Fill In My Blanks

Quinn Ashford hasn’t set foot in her hometown in years—not since her father disowned her and

her twin brother and sent them packing. But when her brother calls to tell her their father has

died, she returns for one reason only: closure.

A chance encounter at a dive bar brings her face-to-face with Conner—a pierced, quietly

intense mechanic with a wry smile and a motorcycle that makes her miss her own. Their

chemistry crackles, brief and anonymous, until later that evening, when Quinn discovers he’s

her brother’s best friend and her new house-mate while she’s in town.

With her LA life on pause and her family’s estate in chaos, Quinn reluctantly agrees to stay and

sort through the wreckage with her brothers. But as sparks fly with Conner and old wounds

resurface alongside a contested will and the crumbling remains of fractured sibling ties, Quinn

must decide if she's ready to stop running.

Because sometimes, healing doesn’t come from leaving—it comes from choosing to stay.
